WHAT: MU fans everywhere are invited to wear black and gold to support the University of Missouri for the fifth annual College Colors day. College Colors day promotes the traditions and spirit of MU. Fans are encouraged to don Mizzou gear and plan a “black and gold” event, such as an office tailgate lunch or best dressed fan contest.

College Colors day coincides with the start of the fall semester and the kick-off of MU intercollegiate athletics. The event’s purpose is to advocate higher education through increased public awareness and to celebrate the achievements of colleges and universities.
